    hahahahaha… moerse goeie een… Jannie rules 🙂

  • 332

    Jannie came rushing home after writing his final exam and shouted to his wife ” pak in, pak in, ek gaan n dokter word en ons gaan nou n groter huis kan bekostig”
    His wife asks him ” was die eksamen maklik?”
    He says ” baie maklik Dolla, hulle het net een vraag gevra….jy kom op n ongeluks toneel af en daar le n vrou bewusteloos. Waar moet jy jou twee vingers sit om te sien of sy nog lewe. Die antwoord begin met n P en eindig met n S.”
    His wife says ” jis Poekie, dis maklik, op haar pols”
    Jannie looks at het and says ” ag nee fok, pak uit, pak uit”

    Nothing to brag about
    the Sharks seemed to fall into that comfort zone which is called Home town referees, same as the Stormers and the Bulls in 2011-2013
    But at least they show ruthlessness and consistency today!

    @ ufo:

    I would quote ‘Pele “The more difficult the victory, the greater the joy in winning” !
    Then go and kick some arses!!

    Missed 90% of the live rugby this weekend, but came and read it all HERE at R-T.
    The emotoins
    The anger
    The stupid refereeing(this is now a permanent thing)
    And all the correct results

    Thanks R & R-T. Now i am off to work.
    It is school holidays and Easter weekend plus another long weekend after this, maybe next month will be quieter. Hoe se Rudi altyd “as die tille rol” Boonop het ek tans 4 tuine in verskillende staduims van voltooing, ek hoop om twee af te kry voor die Paas naweek.

    @ superBul:
    Dont worry, I think Craig also missed 90% of the lions game.

    Commiserations for your loss, Stormers fans. Which one? Oh, what the heck, all of them.

    What……me worry?
    Worry
    I’m sure the irony of the Sharks game plan will be lost on the Shark supporters.
    Score 1 try and defend well…..sorry fellows, admit it, you are playing Stormers rugby of 2011-2013.
    Yes, the same rugby that you all had so much too say about, but now that your side is playing it, well it’s just the bees knees isn’t it?

    Exactly.. the main difference between AC and JW is that JW is arrogant and AC is humble.

    As far as rugby “philosophy” goes, they are like twin brothers.

    One other major difference Rob is that at least the Stormers didn’t have uncouth yobs in their side who constantly disrespected the referees.
    I’m sure those disgraceful Du Plessis brothers can show the football prima donnas a thing or two about how to act like pricks and diss authority.
    Jannie is showing he is a washed up never been who can’t keep up with the better players and can only resort to cheap tactics and name dropping at the refs to get away with being an useless idiot, and Bismarck, the less said about him, the better.
    The only reason Jannie gets contracts is because for some or other reason the coaches rates Bismarck and his petulant behavior and he obviously makes sure they must contract his idiot brother.

    We all know Bismark’s lack of captaincy skills is going to come back to haunt Jake, John and the Sharks’ fans before too long when it really matters.

    One big “BOOM” waiting to happen… 🙂

    Lol
    Speaking of boom…..saw some of HG’s posts on Rugby365.
    Nothing has changed, he still likes the Stormers as much as I like the Sharks.
    Overjoy
    Good thing he is blogging there, there is enough of the Sharks girls there to keep him happy, or should that be Sharks boys?

    @ nortierd:
    haha exactly. south africa plays “skop and jaag” thats what we are good at straight at simple.

    The stormers should have sticked to their 2012 gameplan and not try to please the masses with their shallow needs. Winning is all that matters! not 4 try bonus points.

    The sharks will also not score many this year unless they absolutely destroy the other teams forwards.

  • 344

    @MacroBull
    Feite
    But the best is that the Sharks really had a lot to say about the Stormers boring game and the Bull’s one dimensional game etc., but the joke is they can’t see the wood for the trees when their own side plays like that.
    As long as a team wins, whether it’s ugly or pretty, they are playing the right way.

  • 345

    @ nortierd:
    They still have a lot to say, but they will come down hard.

    @MacroBull
    Shhhhhhh, they don’t know it yet.

    The Stormers didn’t score 4 tries in a game once in 2012. Not once. The Sharks have done so twice already in 7 games. Unsurprisingly, the Stormers haven’t managed it once this year either.

  • 348

    And as usual, nobody has scored fewer tries than the Stormers.
